Christian Green is one of the top players in the state of Florida. From Tampa (FL) Catholic High School and teammate of Chaz Green, Christian is 6-1 and 185-pounds. FightinGators.com caught up with both of Green's parents.

"I thought it was an excellent trip. We had a chance to certainly see a program that is one of the best in the nation from an academic standpoint and athletic standpoint. They are well coached. We talked to some of the academic people which is what's important to us and they are solid from top to bottom. The coaching staff is very impressive from top to bottom all the coaches and environment. It is really clear to me that the environment is fostered by Coach Meyer and it was real impressive how he has created a family environment and real comfortable to be around it. My wife loved it as well."

"We enjoyed it and it was very impressive. I don't try to go on many of the trips but told them I would come up, and being honest, it was very nice. I never thought that when I was attending FSU that my son would had a chance to attend Florida. Wherever he wants to go we are going to support that choice. We have some cousins that go to UF and one that is teaching. The most important factor for me is academics and those questions were all answered for me. They have a system in place from beginning to end."
